Once Shinobi, Now Hero

Chapter 8: Vs Todoroki!

The dust had finally settled, revealing the full extent that Bakugo's recklessness caused. Aizawa should've realized how Bakugo would feel fighting against someone stronger than him. He should've realized his pride ran too deep to be mature enough not to use his quirk with lethal force. He could've killed his classmate simply because he was better. And Aizawa would've watched it all happen in front of him.

Anger coursed through his veins, red eyes coming uncovered as his hair began waving dangerously in the air. He wanted to scold Bakugo badly, but also Kakashi, and since the former was awake, his choice was clear.

The temperature in the room dropped ten degrees, but to him, it had increased. It was probably due to how burning hot his body was.

If he expected Kakashi to shrivel up as his murderous gaze, he would be disappointed. The boy didn't even react to him much, only narrowing his dark gray eye into a slit. Was it bravery, or did he honestly not care? Probably the former, they suspected that he had killed before.

"You deliberately went for his weakness and forced him to use an attack that could've killed everyone here if the roof collapsed. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Kakashi stared, then blinked as if he were having a normal conversation. "Exploiting your opponent's weakness is what those villains do, right? He'll either learn to let his pride go, or he'll get himself killed. Either way, it's your fault. Teach him discipline and self-control."

Aizawa didn't want to say it aloud, but he was right. That was perhaps Bakugo's only and most prominent weakness. But it was also his greatest strength. That pride pushed the boy to new heights, to better himself for the sake of himself, and while it might not be heroic in a sense, it was still admirable in its way. Still, Kakashi put them all in danger with the stunt.

"One week of detention," he said, his intense gaze subsiding and his hair coming to lie back down his shoulders. "Never do it again. You're new to my class, so while you spend your time there, I'll give you a rundown on how you should act to avoid further consequences."

He broke his gaze from Kakashi, lest he did something unprofessional that would affect his standing, and looked at his other students, who all had varied expressions on their faces, but all had traces of fear and looked shaken from the whole ordeal. He didn't blame them. He might've not had many classes, but he'd never even heard of a student almost killing another student voluntarily. Even if Bakugo didn't mean to fully, he let himself get carried away by someone's words alone. Detention probably wouldn't be all he would be getting, though; he was still deciding what he would do.

"We'll take a small break. Meet back here in five minutes exactly. There are only 15 minutes left in class. While I would like to stop, we might as well finish this today and start on something new tomorrow." he said as bots came to put Bakugo on a stretcher and send him to the infirmary.

"Yes, Sensei." Class 1-A chorused at once and watched their teacher leave behind the bots taking Bakugo away.

It was eerily quiet for a bit; no one knew what to say after seeing that. The awkwardness didn't last; slow footsteps echoed throughout the bare gym. It was Kakashi; he'd begun walking to the edge of the gym opposite to them, stopped, and then stared at the large hole burned by Bakugo.

Midoriya had yet to move. He was still shaken.

Wind blew in through the opening, fluttering his hair. A tiny voice escaped his throat. "Kacchan..."

Tenya had seemed to choice that moment to enter the gym, leaping through the large opening in the wall. "W-what is this?! Who would damage such a large part of the school like this?!" He demanded.
